Election results show need for term limits

The last round of congressional elections left us with a 94 percent rate of incumbents re-elected. That same Congress has a 9 percent approval rating.

That same Congress will not enforce laws they enacted — immigration, for instance. It will not enact effective laws, on gun control, for instance. It continues to spend our tax money on foreign countries, but tells us we need to cut ''entitlements,'' like Social Security, which have been paid for by the hard-working men and women of this country. Congress condemns the wishes of the vast majority of Americans who seek fairness in taxing, calling it ''wealth redistribution''. Politicians admit daily in news interviews that Washington is broke, an admission of not doing their job. They borrow billions to continue fruitless wars that kill our sons and daughters for no clear reason, (most likely to fill their pockets with campaign contributions from the military establishment). They continue to preach that taxing millionaires at rates lower than their secretaries is good for America.

Frankly, these congressional decisions prove the point that professional politicians are only that because they could not hold a regular job.

We, the people, who have the exclusive right to change our representatives failed miserably once again. Once again, we have reinforced negative behavior by rewarding that same negative behavior with another session of undeserved employment.
